If I hold it close to my heart, it's close to 10% but if I extend my arms its close to 15%. What's the ideal posture and why does it vary so much?

According to the instructions you're supposed to hold your arms straight out slightly above your heart level for maximum accuracy.

With arms extended is the right position. Meeasure depends of the electric circuit formed in your arms no of your hearth

it might be a shade below that...I actually don't lean back far enough to notice where it hits my neck...I think this chair is a real bargain and seems to be superior in workmanship and material...I am 5'11" and shrinking

I've used mine, as well as the same one owned by a friend and I always have this issue as well. Even when I'm down to my lowest weight and have a six-pack and veins popping out on my arms, and legs with a BMI right in the middle of normal range, and after a trainer used calipers and measured me at 6-7% the body fat percentage on this scale has never dipped below 20 percent. At a heavier point (winter weight haha) I've switched immediately from a handheld that measured 11% to this one which gave >23%. Makes no sense.

If you have this set to your height.. while tipping back you put one arm back at a time, its like a balancing act. To come back up you bring your arms from over your head slowly to your thighs. It has handles in case you cant manage it the first couple times to hold on to

If you lower the arm rest all the way, on the one I have, the bottom of the padded, cushioned, trough like surface, is about 1/8 inch higher than the desk top. When your forearm presses down on the cushioned padding it will be just about exactly at the same level as the desk top. This is the lowest adjustment. You can only go higher from there.

Approximately from wrist to couple inches above elbow, again it depends on how long are your limbs.

225% is the maxium power. The closer you hold the object the larger it gets.

I can't answer that. I had to give it away because it just did not work well for me. I'm too short (5'2") and found that it made me lean too far back and I didn't have enough strength in my arms to keep myself upright.

The general rule is that your arms should be at a 90° angle. As another person commented, this may vary depending on whether you are going up hill or down. If you are on a side hill you may set one longer than the other etc. All of that being said, do whatever is most comfortable for you. Everyone is different so try a few heights out and see what you like best. They are easy enough to adjust. Hopefully this helps.

Depending the size of your arm, maybe almost half your arm from hand to elbow. Not small but not too big either

it depends what you're more comfortable with, because I'm not the average bodybuilder I used to be 315 pounds and I have excess skin I prefer my belt to be tighter, I feel as if it feels better on the core because of it being so tight, granted I only put the belt on when I do 405 on a deadlist.

it doesn't go up your arm too much, probably 2 inches up your arm from your wrist.

A friend of mine had an expansive arm cuff he purchased and I checked mine readings with his and they were very similar. I also took it to the Dr. Office and checked it with theirs and had same results. I like mine and feel comfortable that it is accurate.

What K.R. said :) But, be aware it is ergonomically designed, and thus if your KB tray is down a bit, your hand might not feel right resting on it as it is designed to be rested on. For me, having it about 8 inches lower than the top of my shoulder is ideal.

Your forearm is below the elbow, so with your arm hanging down and relaxed, measure an 1-2 inches below your elbow.

Colleen, it will not go that high unless you lean your arm into it and it will not be even but the second time you could turn over your hand and do it...You might try using cotton strips dipped into it and then onto your wrist.

I believe it is just the angle that you hold it. It is a trimmer, so I don't think it is expected for it to be to the skin.
